While the rest of us are still waiting for the Ryzen 2000 series CPUs to release, some early adopters, hardware reviewers and lucky chaps, have managed to get their hands on some pre-release versions of the chips. Fortunately for the enthusiasts out there, one of them is an overclocker who goes by the name of TSAIK, as with some patience, good binning and a healthy amount of liquid nitrogen, he's been able to overclock AMD's new Ryzen 2700X to a whopping 5.88GHz.
We've seen some overclocks of the Ryzen 2000 series CPUs before, with one overclocker pushing the 2700X up to 4.3GHz on all cores. An impressive feat, considering the stock chip can only do that on a couple of cores at most. This latest overclock is something else entirely though, as not only did TSAIK reach 5.88GHz, but he did so on all cores, unlocking some serious multi-threaded potential for the chip.
To achieve this overclock he utilized a 58.25 multiplayer, with a 101.02MHz baseclock. He did have to push the core voltage up to 1.76, which should mean the chip doesn't have a tonne of life in it, but when you're trying to break records, longevity isn't at the forefront of your mind.
Not content to break boundaries on that chip alone, TSAIK also acheived a 5.88GHz overclock with the 2600X on all cores. Likewise he used a 58.25 multiplayer and a base clock of 101MHz. That voltage was even higher though, at 1.768V. That's a lot of juice.
None of this gives us a huge indicator of what the 2700X and 2600X will be able to do on water, but it does show that AMD has unlocked a lot of thermal potential in these chips by dropping down to 12nm.
Do any of you plan to upgrade to one of the new second-generation Zen+ chips?
